About this listen

New York Times best-selling author K. Bromberg is back with an all new second-chance, standalone hockey romance.

At first, the request seemed simple - sign a new athlete to the agency.

Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox.

Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart.

If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked.

But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated. But I know better than to cross that line.

I’ll never date a client. Not even for him.

- - -

Win the Stanley Cup and do it before time runs out.

Not a small feat, but it’s what’s motivated me since the start of my career.

And time is running out.

Enter Dekker Kincade.

Feisty. Dogged. Damn gorgeous. The one I let get away.

I have no idea why she’s traveling with the team, but hell if resisting her is going to be easy.

But I have a job to do, and I refuse to lose sight of that end game. Even if she confuses me. Even if she sees parts of me I’ve hidden from the world.

I can’t lose focus. Not even for her.

Unexpected emotional read

This book was better then Expected. I thought I was going to get hockey and spice (which I did) but it was so much more.

Hunter story broke my heart. Past and present. I’m not one to cry when reading but this read had me in tears more then once. Dekker, so happy she never gave up on Hunter. It came close a few times but and I wouldn’t have blamed her to be honest.

This book is a slow burn and an emotional rollercoaster.

Would recommend.

A new Favorite

I loved the main characters immediately. It was far more emotional than I expected. Emma and Jacob are two of my favorite narrators too!

Emotional roller coaster!! Slow burn 🔥

Narrators are excellent! Interesting characters! Loved both Main Characters, they were both very layered and had interesting backstories. This book conjures many emotions and reactions: laughing, smiling, happiness, sadness, crying, warmth, loneliness, belonging, camaraderie, love, anger, confusion, heat, desire, tension, lust 🔥 etc… Jacob Morgan is an excellent narrator, can’t go wrong. If you like sports romance with characters that have family and personal issues but who like and lust after each other while playing tough love. It’s totally worth your credit!

Loved Hunter. Annoyed with Dekker

Dekker really annoyed me. I wanted to punch her in the face. Her flip flop personality... make up your mind.
She is evil towards Hunter’s emotions. Like I said... make up your dam mind.
She thought she was the cat’s meow. She’s not.

My heart broke for Hunter what he had to deal with. I just wanted to hug till he felt better.
My emotions were up and down and I had tears in my eyes many times.😢😭 Ok I ugly cried too. It was hard for Hunter living in the shadow of his twin.

I absolutely hated Hunter’s mom and dad. Worst ever.

The narration was excellent.
Enjoyed this new author K Bromberg. I’m going to listen to more from this author.

Great book 1. Can’t wait to listen to the next book.

Such a great story

I really enjoyed this book. It was heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. Two main characters with such heartbreak in their past that they’ve carried on their shoulders for years. Dekker knows she has a job to do, sign the best player in the NHL to her family sports agency but no one really knows he’s the guy who she used to have an arrangement with. She’s carried her feelings for years about him. Hunter is slowly spinning out of control. He’s snapping at everyone, he’s out of control. Dekker starts to remind him again about his love for the game and she starts to realize there is more to his story and after many years of mental abuse, she helps him love himself again! Emma Wilder and Jacob Morgan brought this story to life. Loved their narration!

Painful

Really bad writing and awful female narrator. Male narrator was excellent as usual considering the back and forth truly awful writing.
